Mathom is a term introduced by Tolkien in the Prologue of The Fellowship of the Ring (1954):
Anything that Hobbits had no immediate use for, but were unwilling to throw away, they called a mathom. Their dwellings were apt to become rather crowded with mathoms, and many of the presents that passed from hand to hand were of that sort.
